Adaptive Functioning in Autism Spectrum Disorder During the Transition to Adulthood / Nicole L. MATTHEWS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-8 (August 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 45-8 (August 2015) . - p.2349-2360 Titre : Adaptive Functioning in Autism Spectrum Disorder During the Transition to Adulthood Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nicole L. MATTHEWS, Auteur ; Christopher J. SMITH, Auteur ; Elena POLLARD, Auteur ; Sharman OBER-REYNOLDS, Auteur ; Janet KIRWAN, Auteur ; Amanda MALLIGO, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.2349-2360 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Adaptive functioning  Cognitive functioning  Vineland-II  Adolescence  Adulthood Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There is a dearth of research regarding adaptive functioning during the transition to adulthood in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Profiles on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition were examined by age and intellectual ability in 75 participants with ASD (16–58 years). Results extend previous reports of a cognitive advantage over adaptive functioning in children by demonstrating a similar pattern in an older sample. Daily living skills were a relative strength compared to communication and socialization in adults, but not adolescents. In general, highest subdomain scores were observed in writing skills and lowest scores were observed in interpersonal skills. Regardless of cognitive ability, all standard scores were well below average, indicating a need for lifelong intervention that targets adaptive functioning.

An Auto ethnography of Parenting a Daughter whose Complex Disability was Diagnosed in her Adulthood / J. ALCOCK in Autism - Open Access, 6-5 ([01/09/2016])  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism - Open Access > 6-5 [01/09/2016] . - 10 p. Titre : An Auto ethnography of Parenting a Daughter whose Complex Disability was Diagnosed in her Adulthood Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : J. ALCOCK, Auteur Article en page(s) : 10 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adulthood  Auto ethnography  Complex disability  Psychology  Autism Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This auto ethnography explores my journey as a mother of a woman with intellectual disabilities whose complex needs and behaviour has presented significant challenges to services. My biographical accounts include the experiences of receiving my daughter’s diagnoses of a rare chromosome disorder and autism in her adulthood. The former allowed a unique story which emerged from phenomena that is being swept in by the tide of the technological revolution in the detection of gene mutations and structural genomic variations causing learning disability. Within the theoretical frameworks of critical disability studies, social constructionism and family systems approaches, I weave 31 years of autobiographical accounts with cultural and structural factors that influence the experiences of parents of children with learning disabilities. Included in the investigations were the uncovering of new knowledge about the culture of intellectual disability and an examination of the events leading up to my daughter’s four-year incarceration in an institution. Evidence of oppressive, dehumanising social policies and practices intersect with new themes, including the journey from asking ‘why?’ to knowing, and chasing new ‘fixes’ to the liberating possibilities of policy changes and transformative validation.

Community and Social Participation Among Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder Transitioning to Adulthood / Emily MYERS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45-8 (August 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 45-8 (August 2015) . - p.2373-2381 Titre : Community and Social Participation Among Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder Transitioning to Adulthood Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Emily MYERS, Auteur ; Beth Ellen DAVIS, Auteur ; Gary STOBBE, Auteur ; Kristie BJORNSON, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.2373-2381 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Adulthood  Adolescence  Case management  Community participation  Social participation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are at increased risk for poor psychosocial outcomes as adults. We described community and social participation in adolescents with ASDs as they transitioned from adolescence to adulthood, and identified adolescent factors associated with community and social participation outcomes in adulthood. We performed a secondary data analysis of a nationally representative cohort using the National Longitudinal Transition Study 2 and observed a significant decrease in community participation from adolescence to adulthood (63 to 46 %); social participation remained stable. The presence of case management in adolescence was associated with increased community and social participation in adulthood. Case management may be crucial for optimal levels of participation among adults with ASDs.

Demographic and Cognitive Profile of Individuals Seeking a Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder in Adulthood / Francesca HAPPE in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 46-11 (November 2016)

We examined the characteristics of adults referred to a specialist diagnostic centre for assessment of possible ASD, 100 of whom received an ASD diagnosis and 46 did not. Few demographic differences were noted between the groups. Comorbid psychiatric disorders were high in individuals with ASD (58 %) and non-ASD (59 %). Individuals who received an ASD diagnosis had higher self-rated severity of ASD traits than non-ASD individuals. Within the ASD group, older age was associated with higher ratings of ASD traits and better cognitive performance. One interpretation is that general cognitive ability and the development of coping strategies across the lifespan, do not necessarily reduce ASD traits but may mitigate their effects.

“Neurodivergent people just get each other”: Navigating friendship and community in the transition to adulthood for autistic adults / Samara M. WOLPE in Research in Autism, 128 (October 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 128 (October 2025) . - p.202692 Titre : “Neurodivergent people just get each other”: Navigating friendship and community in the transition to adulthood for autistic adults Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Samara M. WOLPE, Auteur ; Ingrid S. TIEN, Auteur ; Maxwell N. LEE, Auteur ; Sila SOZERI, Auteur ; Iman M. HUMPHREY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.202692 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Social Experiences  Friendships  Romantic Relationships  Adulthood  Community Partnered Research  Neurodiversity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Purpose Quality friendships are integral to wellbeing for many autistic adults. However, the prevalence of loneliness is felt by many in the autistic community. The current study examines autistic adults’ social experiences in navigating friendships throughout early adulthood through a series of semi-structured interviews. Methods Seventeen autistic adults were interviewed on the subject of transitioning to adulthood. Themes related to friendships and relationships were analyzed. Data analyses followed the guidelines for reflexive thematic analysis proposed by Braun and Clarke (2024a;b). Results Participants recalled Forging Friendships, discomfort around stereotypes of autism, and gaining confidence in engaging in self-soothing behaviors. When creating friendships, participants experienced Sensory Overwhelm and struggled to explain their compensatory behaviors. As their friendships became closer, participants described Unmasking/Vulnerability as their friends got to know their authentic selves. When Creating Boundaries, participants recalled difficulties navigating sexual and romantic contact, difficulty discerning others’ motives, and struggles with realizing their own discomfort. Participants discussed Disclosure of their autistic identity, and Finding Community with other autistic individuals. Conclusion The findings from this study help to inform the field’s understanding of the social experiences of autistic adults, as well as ways in which future intervention design and services can support autistic adults developing meaningful, lasting relationships throughout their lives.
